Chapter 686: Lao Sha's Identity! The Wolf Lord's Kinship!
Chapter 686: Lao Sha's Identity! The Wolf Lord's Kinship!
Why can the Wolf Lord dominate the entire Great Plains and become the undisputed ruler of the Wolf Nation?
The main reason, besides his Legend Rank strength, is that the Wolf Lord possesses a status skill that allows him to control all wolf clans.
Therefore, even if other Legend Rank Heavenly Wolves appear on the Great Plains, as long as his status skill remains pure, he can suppress the others.
In every Ferocious Beast Empire, the inheritance of status skills is an absolute secret and a top priority.
Moreover, status skills are something that human Beast Summoners find extremely difficult to truly cultivate and replicate.
They are either grasped upon birth or acquired through evolution. Directly cultivating a specific status skill is incredibly challenging.
This was something Su Ping already understood when he used the Five Poison Ding to cultivate the Bug King at the Core of Ten Thousand Spirits.
Now, in this battle, Lao Sha finally unleashed the Ability of the Sun Wolf without any restraint. The positional ability of the Sun Wolf had a significant impact on Plant Type, Wolf Pets, and Beast Kind. At this moment, the Wolf Lord finally realized what kind of creature this golden giant wolf truly was.
Therefore, no one paid attention to the fate of the Purple Crystal Mandara Flower.
Even with the peak Emperor Grade strength, crushing it under such suppression would still be an unimaginable feat.
However, at this moment, no one was concerned.
The Muling Mushu's (Wood Spirit Mother Tree) perception was still intact. Although it felt some suppression, it was still protected by the Tree God, the World Tree.
Thus, such suppression meant nothing to it.
After all, the opponent's rank was not yet sufficient to pose a threat to it.
So, it was not anxious.
However, while it remained calm, the Wolf Lord's eyes changed. When he looked at the golden giant wolf, his gaze was sharp and cold.
He slowly stepped forward to the center of Dinhun Cliff.
Noticing his movements, the Divine Dragon Legend and the Wolf Lord turned their heads and looked at him with caution.
The Wolf Lord paused slightly but then turned to Su Ping, who was standing in the air:
"Beast Summoner Su!"
Su Ping, looking at the returning Lao Sha, was about to praise him with a smile but then turned his head to look at this old wolf, the one known as the Wolf Lord.
He didn't know what the Wolf Lord was going to do, but it was clearly related to Lao Sha's performance.
What Su Ping and many others did not expect was that the Wolf Lord paused and then said:
"Beast Summoner Su, I can sense that this Wolf Pet is not your contracted beast. I wonder what kind of price the Great Plains could offer to have this Wolf Pet join us?"
Join the Great Plains?
Such words caught everyone by surprise, including all the wolves.
Su Ping narrowed his eyes and then smiled:
"Sorry, Senior Wolf Lord, Lao Sha is my family. No matter what the Great Plains offers, I am unwilling to let Lao Sha join. Moreover, I believe Lao Sha himself would not want to return there!"
A cold glint flashed in the Wolf Lord's eyes, and an indescribable energy rolled through the air. However, a cold snort came from behind:
"Wolf Lord, have you forgotten what's going on? Have you forgotten that Su Ping is from the Dragon Country!"
The Wolf Lord looked at the Divine Dragon Legend, but the cold and sharp look in his eyes did not change:
"If not for that, I would have already acted!"
The old wolf's words were not a joke. At this moment, Su Ping could sense the almost materialized killing intent emanating from the old wolf.
He was really prepared to act.
However, the target of this killing intent was not Su Ping, but Lao Sha!
"Divine Dragon Legend, you should understand what such a status skill Wolf Pet means for our Great Plains!"
Indeed, in the Ferocious Beast Empire, power is wielded through strength, and status is represented by rank.
If Lao Sha's status skill reaches the Legend Rank, the future position of Wolf Lord might no longer be held by these Heavenly Wolves.
Power and strength are things that even beasts cannot let go of, and this golden giant wolf is the greatest threat to the stability of the Wolf Nation's power.
If Su Ping were to truly let Lao Sha act in the future, the Wolf Nation might crumble immediately after his departure, especially with the Dragon Country backing him.
This is the ability and significance of this golden giant wolf.
It also represented the Wolf Lord’s perception and foresight regarding these threats.
The Divine Dragon Legend sneered, not bothering to explain as he simply gestured for the White Tiger to step forward. He didn’t even have the Holy Dragon intervene: "Try it out."
The Wolf Lord remained silent.
In the end, the strength of the Dragon Country was not something to be reasoned with.
But that wolf...
At this moment, Su Ping smiled: "I understand the Wolf Lord’s concerns and worries. But Lao Sha has no interest whatsoever in anything related to the Wolf Nation!"
The Wolf Lord’s gaze swept past the Divine Dragon Legend and landed on the confident Su Ping, but it didn’t trust him: "Young man, you don’t understand the allure of power, nor the depth of the Wolf Nation and the Great Plains."
"Breeder Su, I’m willing to offer ten Young Heavenly Wolves and eight different kinds of Holy Spirit Grade Resources in exchange for this Imperial Grade Wolf Pet..."
Before it could continue, Su Ping interrupted again: "Senior, Lao Sha won’t be willing to return. Don’t you understand? It left the Great Plains on its own! It was your subordinates, your offspring, who drove it away with their own hands!"
"Hmm?"
At these words, the many wolves present were stunned.
The Sand King and many other entities from the Sand Nation, who were about to leave, halted their steps.
There’s more to this story?
Immediately, although the Sand King didn’t return to the Dinhun Cliff, it moved closer, stopping on the Gobi Desert, its eyes fixed on the Wolf Lord and the bizarre golden giant wolf that left it in awe and fear.
"Human, what do you mean? If our clan had a wolf pet with such talent, how could we possibly drive it away?!"
The one who spoke was no longer the Wolf Lord, but a completely silver Celestial Wolf King behind it, one of the many offspring of the Wolf Lord.
Su Ping chuckled, glancing at Lao Sha, who didn’t seem to care. It didn’t even look at the Qingya Celestial Wolf King or the Wolf Lord much.
Just now, it had completely resolved the knot in its heart, putting all of this behind it.
With its powerful strength, it had proven itself and, more importantly, proven the capabilities of its young master.
It no longer needed to prove anything to its father or grandfather.
Its father’s coldness, its mother’s protection, and her eventual death from weakness—while it might indeed have the power to act now, its mother’s death, although caused by its father, was ultimately due to her own frailty.
Could it really kill him?
That was clearly impossible.
Pet beasts and humans were often similar in many ways.
So, Lao Sha ignored them. The few months spent on the Great Plains, compared to the decades of its life, were insignificant.
However, although Lao Sha didn’t want to say anything, Su Ping couldn’t let this pass. He smiled and said, "Lao Sha is also a descendant of the Celestial Wolves, but it hasn’t awakened its Celestial Wolf Bloodline. After it was born, because the Bloodline didn’t awaken, it was just an ordinary forest wolf, so it was driven out from the heart of the Wolf Nation, wandering on the Great Plains."
"Ultimately, my grandfather saved it and brought it back home to raise it, growing up alongside my father. It’s part of my family, so it won’t return to the Great Plains, nor will it have any designs on your position as Wolf Lord..."
These words left all the wolves stunned. The one who looked particularly shocked was the Qingya Celestial Wolf King with the head halo.
Even the other wolves began to slowly turn their gazes toward it.
Even its father, the Wolf Lord, was no exception.
The reason was simple.
The Celestial Wolf Bloodline was special. Besides the use of Moon Power, there was a significant chance of awakening other elemental abilities.
In such awakenings, Celestial Wolves would seek out pet beasts with corresponding elemental attributes to mate with, hoping to produce offspring with a perfect fusion of the Celestial Wolf Bloodline and the corresponding elemental energy.
These offspring would be even more outstanding.
There were some such offspring, who were the true elite of the Wolf Nation.
There were also many failures, and these were generally not given much attention.
The Wolf Lord and the corresponding Celestial Wolf Kings certainly wouldn’t care.
However, they never imagined that such a powerful existence, an evolved form, had such an origin.
It turned out to be a descendant from the Wolf Nation.
Everyone’s eyes were on the Qingya Celestial Wolf King for a simple reason: in the entire Wolf Nation, only the ancient Qingya Celestial Wolf King had awakened and utilized Wood Element Energy through his Celestial Wolf Bloodline.
Moreover, they could sense Lao Sha’s true age, and the timeline indeed matched up with the existence of this Celestial Wolf King!
The Qingya Celestial Wolf King looked at Lao Sha, who slowly landed nearby, with disbelief.
It seemed that only now did it finally understand why Su Ping had looked at it so strangely before.
It couldn’t imagine that the golden giant wolf could be its own son?
But at this moment, could it really claim to be the father of this creature? It had even forgotten when it had driven the other away or when it had such a descendant.
It had too many offspring. The entire Celestial Wolf Clan was the dominant force in the Wolf Nation and the controller of the Great Plains. The various wolf clans in the center of the Great Plains, big or small, all had some connection to a particular Celestial Wolf King.
However, the bloodline determined their position and their limits from the moment of their birth.
None of them could change that!
Thus, it faced its father, the Wolf Lord, with a cold gaze, looking as confused as a student who had been woken up and punished to stand.
It was easy to imagine that even if everyone knew this situation was too common in the Wolf Nation, the Qingya Celestial Wolf King’s predicament could only be attributed to bad luck.
It was so unlucky that one of the offspring it had driven away was the one saved by Su Ping’s grandfather.
And this offspring had encountered a genius breeder from the Dragon Country, one who had cultivated such a terrifying existence.
The mocking gazes of its siblings and the cold eyes of its father, the Wolf Lord, made the Qingya Celestial Wolf King feel uneasy.
However, the Celestial Wolf King didn’t know if Lao Sha had felt the same or even worse back then.
Su Ping, however, didn’t care about the Celestial Wolf King’s thoughts. He calmly explained the situation and then smiled at the Wolf Lord:
"So, Elder Wolf Lord, Lao Sha has no intention of returning to the Great Plains. You don’t need to worry about his influence!"
Su Ping understood the Wolf Lord’s concerns, having seen through its thoughts.
Indeed, Lao Sha had no interest in the Great Plains, and this was certain.
However, Su Ping never expected that after hearing the entire story, the Wolf Lord’s gaze towards its good son, the Qingya Celestial Wolf King, would become extremely cold. The Wolf Lord’s eyes narrowed, and the previous coldness and murderous intent vanished completely.
Even a smile appeared on its wolf lips:
"Hehe, I see, I see. I was wondering why such a powerful wolf pet evolution body would suddenly appear! It turns out they are a family!
Since they are a family, why be so absolute about returning or not returning to the Great Plains?"
Upon hearing this, the other Celestial Wolf Kings’ expressions changed, except for the Qingya Celestial Wolf King.
The Divine Dragon Legend showed no surprise, only a smirk of disdain, as if the Wolf Lord’s change of face was entirely expected.
However, even Su Ping didn’t anticipate how thick-skinned the Wolf Lord was. It looked at Lao Sha and grinned:
"Grandson, if you’re willing, would you like to visit the Great Plains with your grandfather? It’s been forty years since you left, hasn’t it?"
The other Celestial Wolf Kings were speechless.
Each of them had their own offspring, but when had the Wolf Lord ever referred to them as ‘grandson’ and ‘grandfather’?
This kind of address was too distant and unfamiliar.
But they also knew that if their offspring could slaughter a Holy Spirit Peak entity at the Emperor Grade, they could do the same.
But could they?
Lao Sha merely glanced at the Wolf Lord and then at Su Ping.
Clearly, it meant that everything was up to its young master.
The Wolf Lord also looked at Su Ping:
"Breeder Su, how about it? Since we are now family, would you like to visit the Great Plains as a guest?"
Could they really claim to be relatives?
The many beings present were speechless. Compared to the Wolf Lord, even the most shameless humans seemed like inexperienced new recruits.
